Chapter-126 (land of the dead part 1)CRYSTAL OF EVILEmily had recovered from the pain the divine soul's blood had inflicted on her. She even had to destroy all the blood she had collected and started getting new blood. She had also prepared to travel to the land of the dead to get the dagger before the heroes did. Little did she know there was another person in the game. She knew going to the land of the dead is a deadly mission on its own. Going there to talk about something that belongs to them is another battle to fight. So, she decided she must not go alone. She went to the ancient temple that she had burnt down when she returned. On getting there, she walked to the tomb, where their warriors were buried. She looked around and discovered there was a spell seal on each tombstone. She smiled, opened the bottle of blood she brought along, and poured it on the ground. She matched on the blood and started chanting some spells. The clouds suddenly turned dark and the tomb started shak
Chapter-127 (land of the dead part 2)"This is too easy, I feel it's a trap". Cath said."Carson get back here". Cath said, almost getting close to his mum when Cath ran between them. Mrs. Richard grabbed Cath and vanished. Carson stood still, looking everywhere but didn't see Cath and his mum."Cath!'. Carson called but there was no response. The rest were surprised to see what just happened. The mansion started shaking like it was about to collapse. " Guys, we have to go". Susannah said to them but Carson stood still, crying at the same spot. Dave ran and dragged Carson. They all ran past the staircase and got down but noticed the door had been shut against them. They all tried to open the door but it was not opening. They all get fed up after so many attempts to open it. The building was still shaking. Soon, the building stopped shaking and the ground started opening."What's going on?" Carson asked no one. Dead bones started coming out from the ground with swords in their hands.
Chapter-128 (the city of Mayong)"I am sorry I couldn't recognize you the first time, but now I did. I need the Athame dagger to protect my world" Eddie said to the old woman. The old woman smiled and brought out the dagger from her bag. "My spirit was roaming that certain night after I was innocently killed by that monster you killed. After you died, I knew you were still coming back to life, that's why I picked the dagger in case you might need it." The old woman said and handed over the dagger to Eddie and disappeared instantly. Eddie was happy but he was left with how to go home and how to revive his friends. The dagger started glowing and created a bright light. Eddie closed his eyes from getting blind. The light subsided and Eddie opened his eyes, only to see his friends and himself in their living room." What happened?". They all asked him while he smiled, showing them the dagger."How did we get back here?". Cath asked, they were all looking confused and bewildered. "The da
Chapter-129 (The wand)"It's really magical". Carson said and laughed. They heard a loud sound above them. They looked up and saw a dragon flying toward them."Guys run". Eddie shouted and they started running. The dragon chased after them and was emitting fire from its mouth. They tried to dodge any fire the dragon shot at them till they got to a hill. They stopped, looking down at a big river."Any ideas?". Dave asked when they saw that the dragon was getting close to them."Last plan, we jump". Eddie said and they all jumped but the dragon was fast enough to catch them before they fell into the river and flew away. They were all shouting when the dragon was flying them away. The dragon got to where it was going and descended. The dragon threw them down before it landed. The heroes were all scared when they got up. "Why are you running?'". The dragon asked them which got them confused."You were bathing us with your fire Mr dragon". Cath responded."The name is Serena". The dragon
Chapter-130 (School Begins)The first rays of sunlight light up Eddie's room. The dawn chorus of melodic birdsong drifted in. It's a new day for the heroes. They've gotten two weapons out of four. They aren't bothered about the last weapon probably because they don't know its name.It's a new beginning of another chapter in their lives, they will be starting their university degree and they are up early to get to school. The funniest part, the five of them chose the same course to study. Princess Diana had prepared herself to go to work while the heroes prepared themselves for their first day in school. Their admission process was easy for them. They did everything online, they just went to the lecture room to receive lectures."You guys should be watchful, there is evil everywhere and call me if anything happens". Princess Diana told them."Yes ma". They all replied hilariously. She is the oldest among them but looks younger than them all. How her fate and face changed just because
Chapter-131 (Keeper of the underworld)CRYSTAL OF EVILEmily has created her own plans on how to get the heroes, she has decided not to go after the weapons anymore but let the heroes get them for her. She knew for her to conquer them, she needed more dark magic. Emily decided to travel to the underworld where she was sealed and make a deal with the keeper of the underworld. Emily gets herself three huge stones, places them in triangular form, then draws a white line with chalk to connect the three stones together. She cast some spells and fire started emanating from the middle of the stones. She walked inside the fire, the fire wasn't burning her instead the fire kept increasing till it filled the whole place where she was performing the ritual. The fire suddenly subsided and Emily was nowhere to be found. She appeared in the underworld, opened her eyes, and saw everywhere dark and stinking. She knew the keeper would have known someone had invaded his place. "Keeper, I know you're
Chapter-132 (Eddie the murderer)The pale crescent moon shone like a silvery claw in the night sky. A young man could be seen running for his life. He ran as fast as he could but he could still feel someone behind him. He wouldn't try to stop, despite getting exhausted till he fell. "Please don't kill me". He pleaded as the person got closer to him and pounded on him.NEXT MORNINGProfessor Justin is always lurking around the heroes in order to know their next step of action. The heroes are playing their games and it seems to be working on him. Professor Justin also has his own plans to unveil soon but had to play dumb with the heroes. School is getting fun daily for the heroes. They were happy because things seem a little better now unlike when they were in high school when Devoe will come to threaten them. They never bothered about Emily and Professor Justin. They have all their focus on their academics. It wasn't really easy for them to combine training and saving the world with
Chapter-133 (His other self)"What are you trying to say?. That I murder someone?". Eddie asked officer John."I was indoor last night, and why would I kill someone?". Eddie continued to ask."I don't know Eddie, we have evidence. There was CCTV footage". Officer John said, opened his laptop, clicked on some buttons, and showed it to them."Please don't kill me". They watched the young man plead before Eddie killed him. "Eddie, it's really you. That was the cloth you were wearing yesterday". Cath said and they were all bewildered by what they had just watched."That's not me, I didn't kill anybody. I didn't even go out last night. Someone is trying to frame me for murder". Eddie defended himself. Others were looking at him. They knew he would never do such, someone is behind it."Dad, Eddie was with us throughout last night. You know he can't just kill an innocent person and remove his organs. Eddie is no longer a wolf". Cath said to her dad."I know sweetheart, but he needs to come
Chapter-150 (Light prevails over darkness)"Dad, I told you he's a nice man. Why did you have to make him stay the night before giving him the sword?". Isabel asked her and Eddie looked in her direction. He was bewildered to see the man who had sheltered him. He quickly got up and went to his knees."You're Adwen right?". Eddie asked the man and he nodded affirmatively."I know you will surely come here one day. My daughter told me when you arrived". Adwen said to Eddie and smiled at Isabel. Eddie looked at Isabel and Isabel smiled at him. "Don't be surprised Eddie. I only tested your trust and your identity". Isabel said to Eddie. " Please, my world will soon be in chaos, I need the ancient gladius to defeat the great witch". Eddie pleaded to Adwen." You're late Eddie, your world is already in chaos. Keeper of the underworld has been destroying your city right now". Adwen said and Eddie quickly got up and walked towards Adwen." Please Adwen, I must not fail this time. I can still
Chapter-149 (The end of the world)CRYSTAL OF EVIL"It is time". Emily said and laughed viciously. She got up from her chair and went into a dark room. She lights up the room and it reveals Susannah's shadow. "Time to tell you I am stronger than you". Emily said and started chanting some spells. She called the soul of Susannah and the soul appeared to her and Emily laughed."I told you, you are my child". Emily said and laughed. She commanded Susannah's shadow to enter her soul. The shadow entered and Emily chanted some spells and the soul vanished. Emily laughed and left the dark room. She went to the lower room and met Eddie 2 drinking a cup of blood. Eddie 2 gets up when he sees Emily coming closer to him."Eddie, it's time. I must create other clones". Emily said and both of them went to another room. Emily brought out the pictures of the heroes that she had snapped without them knowing. She dipped the pictures into a big bowl of blood and started casting some spells. The weather
Chapter-148 (Life in the past)A wormhole opened revealing Eddie. He looked everywhere and was surprised at how things were in the past. He found himself on a mountain top. He was able to see the whole kingdom. He walked down the mountain and walked to the kingdom. Everyone was looking at him because of the way he dressed. His outfit was different from theirs, everything about him was different from theirs. He walked and walked till he was tired. He sat down on a rock outside the market square to rest a bit before continuing his journey."I don't even know where I am going". He thought within him. A little girl walked close to him and offered him a cup of water."You look thirsty, you should drink". The little girl said and smiled at him. Eddie collected the water and drank it all at once and returned the cup."Thank you so much". Eddie appreciated the little girl. "You don't look like us, you are not from here". The little girl said and sat beside him. Eddie looked at the girl and s
Chapter-147 (Final defeat)" So I have to go back to where it all begins". Eddie said, looking devastated." Yes Eddie, and you must find Adwen before it is too late". Queen Alexander said to him." I have no choice but to go, I need all the help I can get to defeat Emily. I must make my parents who have sacrificed themselves for me to come this far proud". Eddie said to Queen Alexander. Queen Alexander smiled at him and looked at little hobgoblin. " I think you still have one last mission to do buddy". Queen Alexander said to little hobgoblin. Little hobgoblin smiled and looked at Eddie." I am going to miss you". Little hobgoblin said to Eddie and Eddie smiled at her." I am going to miss you too buddy. Thanks for everything". Eddie appreciated her." Take care of yourself, Eddie". Morgana said and walked close to Eddie. She pecked Eddie and he smiled." Thank you, Morgana, thank you for trusting me". Eddie said to her." Thank you, my queen". Eddie appreciated Queen Alexander and
Chapter-146 (Back in time)"The vase, can we go get it now?". Eddie asked Princess Diana."Why, it's just a vase Eddie, not a map". Princess Diana objected."We need to be sure of it". Eddie said and princess Diana led the way, looking frustrated. Eddie drove while Princess Diana sat in the passenger seat. None of them talk to each other till they go to her house. Both of them alighted from the car and Princess Diana led the way. She opened her door and went to her room, then came back with the vase. She handed it over to Eddie. Eddie looked at the vase, it was a closed vase."I told you, it's just a vase". Princess Diana said, looking angry, and passed by Eddie. She was about to open the door so she could go outside when she heard a sound. She looked back and realized Eddie had broken the vase. She was angry."Eddie, are you out of mind?". She yelled at him for destroying her precious vase given to her by her father. That's the only thing left with her that gives her the sweet memori
Chapter-145 (The vase or the map)It was night already, everyone had gone to sleep. Officer John left work late and decided to branch at a club just to get some drinks. He ordered for himself and was drinking. He started thinking about his life. It was sad for him knowing the girl he had trained from little isn't his daughter. Most of the time, he is always bitter and sad whenever he recalls the incident. Just like right now, he couldn't hold his tears as he remembered everything. The evil spirit was roaming around, finding who he could possess when he saw officer John sitting and crying while drinking. The evil spirit laughed and wasted no time in possessing officer John.Officer John felt something enter his body and started shaking vigorously till he passed out. He was rushed to the hospital. A Few minutes later, before he was attended to, he woke up and gets you from the sick bed."Sir, you should go back to bed". The nurse that wanted to attend to him spoke. Officer John looked a
Chapter-144 (The return of the evil spirit)"Eddie!". Princess Diana exclaimed, running towards Eddie. She hugged him from behind."Eddie, it's okay. I know how you're feeling but don't let your emotions take over you". Princess Diana said, trying her possible best to calm him down. Luckily, the lightning subsided and the weather turned back to normal."I am going to miss my mum and Mr. Richard". Eddie said slowly, wiping off his tears. Princess Diana disengaged from the hug and turned Eddie to face her."I will always be here for you Eddie no matter what happens". Princess Diana said and kissed Eddie instantly. Their bodies responded to their emotions and they were both glowing with lightning.The heroes have gotten back themselves and are ready to move on. They knew they had to make things for the death of the guardians to be in peace. They have sacrificed everything for them just for the final battle. Despite the little hobgoblin telling Eddie that princess Diana has the map to fin
Chapter-143 (missing them)"Where is the cup?". They were surprised by his question. Dave brought out the cup and handed it to him. They were expecting him to cry or get angry but he was smiling which made them think he had gone mad."Well done guys, we finally have the four weapons with us". Eddie said and walked back to his room. He walked back to the living room with the four weapons. He placed them on the table where the little hobgoblin was." What's next now?". Eddie asked little hobgoblin through his mind." It's left for you to find the last weapon. The mission is specifically for you." Little hobgoblin said to Eddie." Ancient Gladius is not just an ordinary sword, It's a magical sword, forged from the souls of the dead gods. The sword was created by a sorcerer called Adwen. Adwen created the Ancient Gladius during the first battle in the kingdom. The sword was used by the four god's father to stop their enemies which was successful. After the battle their father cast a spell
Chapter-142 (Courage with sorrow)ISLE OF THE BLESSED"I allow you two to follow me because I know how important Eddie is to the two of you. You must go back with the cup of life without me". Patricia said and Princess Diana, Dave, and Cath started crying immediately." You all must protect my son, and please tell him I love him so much and I will always be with him". Patricia said to them. This time, she was crying. Not because of the death but because she's going to miss her son." No, no, please don't go". Princess Diana was full of tears, begging Patricia not to go. Patricia smiled at them and prayed for them before following Nimue. Both of them entered a tornado and they both disappeared. The heroes were crying, none of them could even move an inch to carry the cup. They all sat down there, crying, and crying till the whole building started shaking. Dust was emanating from the ground and the building started collapsing. "What are we going to do now?". Cath asked, staggering as s
